This might lose US jobs, with companies opening offices abroad instead. Maybe good for Canada.

can’t tell if C or Javascript. Could this be meta that all squares of javascript are always all buggy?

For those not yet genetically engineered to have awareness of literature…

Gattaca offered the hopeful promise of profit maximization through mass production of genetic engineering, though it’s unclear if government subsidies helped with the profit maximization.

Time will certainly create political pressure to make the bestest babies for the races who deserve the bestest babies. Maybe that does mean no medicaid coverage.

The strongest case for only ultra rich having access, is that it’s just a status symbol. AI and robotics will do all the work, so why be smart or fit? How smart do you need to be to just support fascist genocide? Being smart is only a path to considering human needs above fascist supremacist needs as a path to sustainability, with sustainability considered of value. Stupidity far more useful to near term “theft profitability with no consequences” of fascism.

Force amazon to stop overcharging me to help them lower prices for Americans, and I’m happy enough. Is there an alternative that is not overcharging us, post below.

That was quite a while ago, but if you want a trade/investment deal to make those pensions whole, idc. It would be peanuts. Any Nortel design expertise being in Canada to help new Huawei subsidiary, with SMIC chip plants in Canada would be a more progressive offer to improve Canada.

Threaten Apple, Google, Nvidia markets if you want to get US friendliness. Grumble about the past to remain CIA colony.

There was a big bet/hope on Honda battery facility. AFAIK, its on hold for perpetuity until Trump doesn’t scare Honda anymore, which won’t happen, because any future president/US politician will like that Honda is a sycophant to it. Lion counts a little bit, busses actually very important emissions sources, but it’s relatively small part of Canadian transportation.

The shittacane summons me into it’s center, Randy.

someone on a bike was struck by a car and killed just a few blocks away from me this very morning

It’s is bike’s fault. Not culture’s fault.

Canada does not have the technical knowledge to build EVs.

It’s true that we have expertise in machining. We do have cheaper metal sources, and lithium and rare earth resources that could be used to leverage Chinese automation for batteries, motors, gigapresses, and then use Canadian assembly workers to finish the cars.

The future is about engineering and design, and Canadian sustainability means avoiding anchoring ourselves to dead ender energy and processes.

Ford was saying yesterday “We need to protect the $46B government has invested in EV transition”. First, that is an absurd subsidy level, but to your point, it was always meant as a grift, because “real Canadians” don’t know how to make EVs.

With Chinese (or any other if they are volunteering) investment, in long term, it is technology transfer to Canadians. We’re too stupid to do anything disruptive/progressive is the path to staying stupid and falling behind.

The threat of Chinese EVs is absolutely necessary to support for any non traitorous Canadian.

No one has firm plans to make EVs in Canada. The threat can at very least get “best offers” of investment and commitments to Canada that might be better for Canadian economy, even if it helps destroy climate. Cannibalism was always going to be preferred over human sustainability.

Canada benefits from investment. If every other company in the world is too afraid of Trump to invest in Canada, then Canada needs China. The end. Obviously, a trade deal would include an investment deal.

Canada is a giant global auto market equal to UK for 7th place. Measured in over priced vehicles too. Significant boost to Canadian standard of living to have access to better value EVs, which are already better value cars than ICE engine alternatives. Quieter, faster, power your home in emergency, urban life quality for non drivers.

When Canada removed DST, not only did we get zero in return from US government, the tech companies that avoided the tax didn’t even show any gratitude with data center or other investments in Canada. ONLY flirting with non US colonies can Canada get any investments (or genuine defense commitments) from US and its colonies.

Can I get a link to this tweet? Time to get banned from X.

Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies

Zionist supremacist oligarchs who are heavily involved in election financing in cooperation with Israel Lobby that directly manages loyalty oaths to Israel from every Federally elected official. Zionists supremacists shifted heavily to Trump this cycle, with DNC funding paying them to lose for the most Zionist supremacist election outcome.

Media bending over backwards to not call it what it is, is clear and direct result of bipartisan submission to ZIonist supremacism.

Proof that this purchase is entirely to enforce Zionist supremacism, is that this group will overpay with licensing fees in order to add their layer of censorship on opposition to genocide, and humanizing people resisting genocide and supremacism. The buyers don’t care about making money from purchase, and will be proven by deal structure.

As backdrop on Larry Ellison, his wealth grew over $100B last week on the most fraudulent BS in the history of finance. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-openai-300-billion-deal-150815377.html

Open AI, who loses money on $10B in annual revenue, has promised (non binding) Oracle $60B/year for GPU/datacenter services for next 5 years. Oracle has yet to even think about how it would fulfill this revenue, and Open AI has no way whatsoever of paying for it. Open AI models are not particularly cost/quality competitive relative to Anthropic (or Gemini/llama) or Deepseek/other Chinese open models. OpenAI’s future and this Oracle contract, depends on it getting the US military contract for Skynet.

Should you short Oracle in the face of this? Of course not! Zionist supremacist oligarchs in the US are the chosen people, and above criticism.

Among the top 10 worst parts of America is that it is now anti-Israel anti-semitic hate speech to be critical of that reaction tweet. 50/50 on whether empathy for the 6th grader will be hate speech tomorrow.

It’s been a while, but in general based on having too much solar tilted +15 from latitude to maximize winter production, and relying on 14 sun hours/week as a minimum, even if 20 -22 would be expected average. While solar has fixed bs/costs, an extra 300w is fairly cheap, and adding to that often less expensive than more btu (or kwh) storage, or more insulation. Monetizing summer surpluses into crypto (back then) or gpu dataserver rental, also means never having too much solar. Full ROI on all solar, compared to overdoing it on heat storage.

In 25 years time will batteries be cheap enough for us each to have a MWh in the loft?

At $20k/$30k per mwh would make 100 kwh $2-$3k. 100kwh would still be more than you need, and so it is pretty affordable now.

There are some cheap/“bad discharge rate” chemistries like iron air. They’d be too heavy for loft, but could be foundation walls or crate in your back yard. Not a technology likely to be mass produced enough, and shipping costs very high.

What does the world look like when every home has the ability to be energy self-sufficient using solar?

We were at this point in 2019. The raw materials are 1/3 the price today. 100kwh is already more than you need. Corruption of tariffs, and artificial price barriers by electric monopolies and their regulator minions inflate prices in our countries.

I don’t know. Wanted to link ep2, but my hacker foo is from a 90s Angelina Jolie movie.

Flooding levels updam is a concern (but not for Hoover) in general. Yes, daily/weekly flow rate downstream is also a concern. But not hourly flow rate.

then our lives are dictated by CBC meal mouthism. It is a bad rule, IMO, even if excessive editorializing is a good rule.
